Mistake on CAS

Hi everyone,

Suuuuuuuper neurotic question here (probably)… As I was using my finalized CAS as a template to fill out ERAS I realized that in the education section I actually listed my MD and my MPH in an incorrect chronological order. As I am enrolled in a dual degree program in my mind I always think that I started both programs at the same time, but technically I enrolled in the MD program in fall 2010 and the MPH program in fall 2013. Unfortunately, I listed the MD first even though the MPH might be considered the most recent. Does anyone think this will be an issue? I would not normally sweat it since it seems like a minor mistake, but given how often I’ve heard that programs look for any reason to narrow down the applicant pool I am somewhat concerned.

As always, thank you for your input!

You can always apply again next year... jk you'll probably be blacklisted everywhere. 😉

Double jk. As a former neurotic sf match applicant I sympathize with you....but this will not affect your application whatsoever.

Haha! Thanks for the perspective. I can be fairly neurotic at baseline... but certainly the application process as led to a flare-up!

Secretly or sometimes openly anal-retentive and extremely attentive to details = all of us in ophthalmology 😉

You've clearly lost all credibility in their eyes. I would just withdraw and apply next year 😉
